A Work in Progress

Sorry, I've been missing in action! We've been in crazy mode trying to get some things done before Madi's birthday. We are planning a first birthday party, and it just so happened when we added up the close-by relatives that we ended up with 32 people invited--yikes! So we've been working on getting things livable for the party--i.e. dining room finished and kitchen. I've also been busy clearing out the family room for seating purposes, planning the menu, grocery shopping, cake making, etc. It's been a little hectic.

And now to have our AC die on us is just a little crazy. We've already been dealing with appliances that might I say are still NOT fixed!! And our fridge seems to have been sabotaged by previous owners--missing the freezer insert that allows ice to be made--so I've resorted to ice cube trays for the party. We finally have the dryer working without a way to vent outside--we put a nylon over the output to keep the lint from going everywhere. But I guess it has been good for both of us because we just have to look around us at our amazon of a yard or at the huge chunk that the dishwasher installer took out of our wall, and realize that things just will not be perfect at the moment. And then we have to turn and take a look at ourselves and realize that we need to work at perfecting ourselves, more than repairing and redoing our home, because lately we've been a little more crabby and a little high strung. I guess it just goes to show you that just like our home is a work in progress for us, so we are a work in progress for God.
